Answer 1

1) The "full-court press" is an important strategy in the game of basketball. 2) Baseball and volleyball have very different rules and strategies. 3) The "press" is a way of putting pressure on the other team and making them work harder to make a basket. 4) Let's say the game is being played between the red team and blue team, and the blue team has the ball. 5) Normally, the red team members take their places down at the blue team's basket. 6) They don't start guarding the blue team's players until they get there. 7) In a full-court press, however, each red player guards a blue player the whole way down the court. 8) The blue team is only allowed 30 seconds to bring the ball across the half-court line, so this puts a lot of pressure on the blue team. 9) The press is often used when a team is way behind or when the game is almost over. 10) It can change the course of the game, especially if one team is able to steal the ball from the other.
